Canada goes strong on security tokens

Alex Tapscott, co-founder of the Blockchain Research Institute and co-author of Blockchain Revolution:

“The Canadian Securities Exchange intends to get into this market (of dogital securities, Red).

Canadian startup Polymath has made progress in this area, as has Toronto-based Xtreme Blockchain Labs, which is repurposing its crowdfunding platform, CrowdMatrix, as a securities token foundry.

Canada has a head start, with its critical mass of talent, capital and a thriving startup ecosystem.

With the right support of our institutions – banks, governments, incubators, academia and corporate leadership – Canada could be the proving ground for the future of financial services and reap the benefits for decades to come. Or not”.
